What’s the advantage of using Perfect Day dairy proteins in dairy products?

plus

Perfect Day dairy proteins are vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, and lactose free and provide the same high-quality nutritional benefits as dairy proteins – while ensuring the same delicious taste, texture and functionality when used in dairy foods and products. This allows food manufacturers to create entirely new products or build on existing ones to address how we eat today and for years to come.

How do you make animal-free dairy proteins?

plus

We’ve developed a type of yeast that can produce dairy proteins (casein and whey). Using biotechnology, we give this yeast a “blueprint” that allows it to ferment sugar and create real dairy proteins. This is the very same blueprint, in the form of DNA, which cows use every day.

Our proteins are made in a process akin to craft brewing, using fermentation similar to how vegetarian rennet, vanilla, insulin, and many other everyday products are made.

Our process is much cleaner and more resource-efficient than animal farming, and it’s the cornerstone of our new approach to dairy.

Is your process kind of like making beer?

plus

Part of our process relies on old-world fermentation techniques–similar to making beer. We often describe it as dairy meets craft brewing.

Is Perfect Day gluten free?

plus

Our dairy proteins are gluten-free and do not contain wheat, rye or barley.

Does Perfect Day contain lactose?

plus

Our dairy proteins are lactose-free.

Are your products vegan?

plus

Yes, our dairy proteins are made without the use of animals and zero compromise on taste and nutrition.

Does your milk contain GMOs?

plus

We relied on genetic engineering to create a type of yeast that produces dairy proteins. This is how vegetarian rennet, vanilla, insulin, and many other everyday products are made. We carefully filter and purify our dairy proteins to ensure they’re free of any yeast before adding them to our food products.

Are you against all dairy farms?

plus

We’re against unsustainable and unethical farming practices, which are often used in factory farms. But we wholeheartedly support the countless dairy farmers across the globe that use sustainable farming practices and genuinely care for their animals.

We envision a world where small, family farms can thrive – and there’s enough delicious dairy to feed our growing planet, without having to rely on factory farms.

What’s the name Perfect Day mean?

plus

The name Perfect Day was inspired by a Lou Reed song. Two scientists discovered that calm, happy cows produce the most milk. And cows are happier when they listen to music! One of the songs that made cows produce the most milk was the song ‘Perfect Day’ by Lou Reed. (Who knew cows were so cool?) As a company on a mission to make cows, people, and the planet happier, it seemed like a perfect fit.
